Friends...I'm an idiot. I used the wrong kind of vinyl on the bottom - it was regular, not wrap. I ordered some Avery wrap this week because I had to try again - just did a small area and turns out with the right vinyl all things are possible. I'm going to try it on my truck over the weekend...

That dent cost $2,010.00 to fix. There was 18 hours of labor when I said I would pay OOP. Then I told them I was running it through insurance ($100 deductible) and he put 24 hours of labor. They got the truck Monday late in the day and it was ready by 7am Wednesday. It's nice to know your local...

Agree. I'm going to start charging a "customer supplied artwork fee". If the artwork is fine I can always remove it. If it's not - it covers me sending it out for vectorizing.

VENT:::::::::> OK - I've got 3 jobs TODAY that have been about 15 emails back and forth. This is a major waste of time to even ASK people anymore if they have vector art. I think I'm just going to start working the artwork into the price. I'm only charging these people $25 to convert and they...

Well, apparently, I need to buy Canva and learn how to use it. This guy can't figure out how to save the logo as a vector file and he won't pay for me to recreate it. I gave a shirt quote last week and they used Canva for the design so I told them I either needed a vector file yesterday EOD or...

Circling back on this...I have an email this morning stating he's spent all weekend trying to convert it to a vector file LOL He doesn't like the fonts he used so I need to update them. I may just make a couple changes to simplify it and see what he says... I think I'm going to stay away from...

I've had 3 customers in the last couple weeks come in for logo design. They have a very specific idea. I execute the idea. They respond back with, "I was playing around in Canva and I think I like this better, what do you think?" Yes - I got deposits and everyone has paid so far. This is...

Well I'm glad nobody is ripping on me LOL I should suggest he have it all painted, I like that idea the best!

The black part under the door had horizontal creases - like 3 of them and then there's a bar that goes across also with a bunch of holes in it. I had to lay down under the truck and try and work the vinyl in all the creases - it was over my skill level laying on my back on a concrete floor then...

I failed miserably. One of my oldest, best customers wanted black matte vinyl on his hood and the bottom part of the sides of 5 Dodge 2500 Diesels. I said I would try it but I am not really a wrapper. Hoods were fine - no issues at all. The bottoms - complete nightmare, I got wrinkles and...

I've never gone door to door, just because I'm a little shy. Facebook has been my best friend for advertising. I'm in a small town and I get a lot of shares, etc. Not sure how well it would work if I was in a big town. But here, everyone knows everyone so posts spread quick.

What is the best method for creating signs that you can add names to each year? They currently have the slide-in plastic things for some and for others just signs that I cut vinyl names for and we stick them up. I did not make any of these originally and as you can see lots of different fonts...

I think you already knew the answer when you posted but hopefully you feel better about your decision now! My friend is the HR at a factory and she is working on firing a guy with multiple personalities. He won't take his meds so she's constantly telling him, "Make sure you tell everyone...

And hopefully if you have to fire him he doesn't come back in retaliation.

I prefer email...and I like text for quick things like photos. What I HATE WITH A PASSION is voicemails. I have a VM that tells people if they want a faster response, email or text. I hate FB business suite messenger as it seems like a lot of clicks and I miss half of them. I have lots of...

It's been about 15 years. I've had a couple issues with malware but I use the free version of Malwarebytes and I've been able to get rid of them. One time I had to purchase the program but 15 years seems pretty good LOL My mom had a computer guy set her system up and he's the one that told her...

I do signs for the dirt racetrack and put a couple coats of the Clear Shield on them. I feel it holds up better than a regular laminate against the dirt, rocks, etc. Those customers have so far been very happy. I never thought of spraying small stuff that's just used inside for random things...

I just got the same email! He went through my website quoting button to send it.

People are so nosy! laminate is laminate, none of his beeswax what kind or brand it is unless he specified before he ordered. I get A LOT of walk-ins expecting me to stop what I'm doing and make them decals. And my shop is on "the truck route" so some of my customers literally drive past like 6...

I use Defender and MalwareBytes...I haven't used anything else for many years since I dropped Norton. Every now and then I get malware and it's a b*tch to remove it.
